"You're late!" Sakura and Naruto screamed at me. I was three hours late to when we were supposed to meet up at six AM... Haha, fuck that. Now, here I was showing up at nine with a coffee in my hands and a very annoyed expression.
"Okay, listen here, you little shits. I have been working straight for nine hours with no fucking breaks. I passed out six times at my desk during it and had a twenty minute power nap before heading over here. I will break both of you faces if you irritate me any more than need be cause I got a massive migraine and all I want to do crack a nose. If one of you want to volunteer, please step up."
Both grew silent as they realized that I was serious. I sat down next to them and pulled out my laptop I packed in my bag and continued to code the program for the helmet. I had spent all of last night trying to make this helmet somehow work... only problem was the fucking code. Gosh, sometimes I hate being a programmer because of how much you have to remember and go through! Plus, if you mistype one little key, BOOM! Everything's fucked and nothing works! Not to mention, the helmet has too many bugs and disadvantages so it's like, I might be wasting my time with this... I hope I'm not though. The reason I'm struggling and rushing to get this done (or at least a prototype) is so I have it done before the Zabuza mission to see if this works properly in battle or if it's a piece of junk.
Fuck. Now I remember that I have to water proof it as well. Shit. Another thing on my plate.
After an hour of angry grunts from myself and annoyed expressions from everyone, Kakashi finally showed up. "Yo." He gave us a little wave as Naruto and Sakura were pissed. He just shrugged them off, explaining, "A black cat crossed my path and I had to take the long way around." I snorted while the angry duo huffed and fumed. Kakashi then turned serious, so I shut my laptop and stuffed it into the bag so it wouldn't get damaged. He was about to speak but I held up my hand to halt him. I ran over to where the three logs that Naruto would be soon tied up and placed my bag there so it would safely be out of the fray. I would cry if it got destroyed as I literally only have my laptop and my phone to back-up files. I could make a flash-drive as a 'pre-caution', yet I can't really find time for any of that.
I jumped back over and allowed him to speak now. "...You know on a real mission you can't go to the side to place valuables out of the way."
"Yeah well, on a real mission, there would be no way in hell I would bring my laptop. I brought it today because I knew you would take your time and I hate doing something unnecessary, like waiting, when I could be working." I met him with a face that read, 'Bitch, don't mess with me.'
He sighed, but continued to explain the rules of the test. Which is kind of pointless to explain as you know what happens. So, next thing I know, we were all jumping to find a hiding spot once Kakashi screamed, "Go!" Well... Almost everyone.
"I'm not scared of you! Come fight me!" Poor, poor Naruto has such a big ego, it's so sad. Now, while Naruto is distracting Kakashi, now to make my attempt to look like I actually care about any of this. By that I mean to tell everyone that, 'Yo, this is bout teamwork and y'all stupid.' while I look smart. They all reject and I might or might not fight Kakashi (which I'd totally lose, but I'm expecting that) and say, 'I asked everyone to help, they said no so I gotta try.' Blah blah blah and while everyone is getting lectured, I get praised...
Selfish plan that boosts my ego, but that's how it is. Now, let's just hope this plan actually works...
- ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔ -
Turns out Sakura actually listened to me and we somehow convinced Naruto to work with us... Well shit. Not part of the plan as it contradicts the whole 'rejection' part, but it doesn't alter the plan so... no biggie.
"Do we really have to get Teme's to help us?" Naruto whined.
A sigh. "Yes, that's the whole thing about teamwork... everyone in the team... works together towards a common goal."
"...But, why him?! We can do it ourselves!"
I opted to ignore him as we all continued to search for Sasuke. Now, in this plan, it doesn't really matter if we even get the bells. As long as Kakashi sees that we are working as a team, we'll pass. If not, then I'm stuffing Naruto's throat with food at lunch. This one plan either works or I go the way it should have been all along.
Naruto wouldn't stop complaining as Sakura was trying to yell whisper at him to shut his trap. Then, I saw Sasuke... in the ground. Fuck. We're this far into the test already! We only have a few minutes left! Kakashi still hasn't seen us work as a group! Shitttt... need to speed this up.
Kakashi was standing in front of him, admiring his work. I motioned towards the other two and they seemed to get the message as they jumped to different locations, with all of us surrounding him. Now, this next part was risky for myself, but if it worked then damn, I'll look sooo badass.
I leaped off the branch from behind Kakashi and pulled my fist back. Kakashi noticed this obvious attack and jumped out of the way... as I continued on to my initial target. The ground in front of Sasuke. Right at the best second (or at least I prayed I timed it right) I sent chakra to my fist and power punched the ground, releasing Sasuke from it. Needless to say, everyone was surprised, even myself.
When I practiced all the times to practice chakra control by walking on water or trees, I had tried to do the punch so many times. I broke my fist three times and I usually would go home with my knuckles bloody from the amount of times I tried to get it right. I never did. I was always to late or too early (chakra turned out to be very hard to time) or it was never enough damage that it would look absolutely pitiful compared to the massive damage Tsunade could make with just her finger. I took a complete chance and hoped it would work, and thank god it did because as Kakashi was gaping at me, Naruto took his chance.
"Shadow clone justu!" He screamed as he bum-rushed Kakashi. Kakashi dodged all of the clones as I helped Sasuke up from the little trench I made.
"Oi, you gotta help us get the bells."
He scowled, "I don't need help from you."
Snort. "Yeah... that's totally why you have a bell and we don't." He just glared in response. I didn't care about his answer now. Kakashi has seen me ask everyone for help, so he better not chew me out when he yells at us all. Noticing that the real Naruto was off to the side and out of the fray, I decided to finally try the bombs I made from the smoke ones. I tossed them towards everyone battling and it seemed like Kakashi just assumed they were regular smoke bombs. Yet, it also seemed like he noticed the stitching last second and bolted out of the range, escaping being hurt. The range and damage was bigger than expected though, and there was a large, shallow hole that made the ground a charcoal color.
Sakura decided to make an appearance and threw an actual smoke bomb in relation to the area she was hidden in. Once the cloudy fog appeared, she leaped from her spot and threw four kunai so Kakashi didn't know where they were aiming at. He managed to dodge all of them by jumping back. Then, Sasuke surprised us all and jumped behind Kakashi yelling, "Fire Style: Fireball Justu!"
Fire scorched the spot Kakashi has just jumped away from. He was still in the air as I leaped towards him, fist filled with chakra. I had every intention of hitting him, I mean, he would live since I cannot hit him that hard nor he's probably been through more pain than a chakra punch... probably...
I reeled back my fist and was going to hit him when...
Ring-ring-ring!
The bell on the alarm went blazing through the training grounds. I ended up hesitating on my attack, to which Kakashi saw as the chakra left my fist since my concentration broke. He grabbed my arm that was going to punch him and flipped me onto my back as it met with the ground. All the air escaped me as pain that turned to discomfort erupted onto my back. Kakashi stared down at me while I stared up. "Wow... that could've been disastrous..." then walked off to the area we would have lunch.
That asshole.

So turns out, I don't have to go through the whole shove shit down Naruto's throat since he passed us. Of course only after he played with us being like, 'Y'all suck. Imma big asshole douche bag. A sexy one at dat.' Then he was like, 'Nah man, we coolio. Y'all don't suck as much. You pass or some shit.'
Glad that we didn't have to go through any more drama though, since I wasn't feeling up to it. We all went to have lunch that was Kakashi's treat and then we all went home to do our own stuff with Kakashi telling us that we train tomorrow at eight...
In which he means ten.

Finally finished! Dude, this is a longgggg one. The next one is longer going to be longer too... ugh. I plan to split the Zabuza Arc into three parts, being the intro of Tazuna and the first battle of Zabuza til Kakashi faints, then the next chap is a whole week in preparation then the last part being the real fight... THEN THE CHUNIN EXAMS! YAY! I'll probably have my hands fall off. Great :D
Anyways the next chapter will be up on Monday!
